Podcast with Kahneman back in 2018

Another good podcast with Kahneman back in 2018 where he presented the concept of noise that would be the subject of his next book. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did, - the 2nd Note on a Tribute Notes Series to Daniel Kahneman https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/daniel-kahneman/

FIDE candidates’ tournament

The FIDE candidates’ tournament will start tomorrow. For all the chess lovers a great opportunity to see the best in the world (besides Magnus Carlsen the undisputed #1) playing for a shot to challenge the World Champion Ding Liren for the tittle. Great games of classical chess on the horizon and great chance to learn from the best! Will try to see more than a couple and try to understand how and why they make their decisions. Below you can find the Bwin Odds for the 8 candidates! https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2024/03/the-candidates-tournament.html https://candidates2024.fide.com/

The FIDE candidates’ tournament is already on its way for 2 days now. Below you can find a short video with Mangus Carsen’s expert opinion (de facto #1) on who are the favorites. Caruana is holding although Hikaru is already in shaky ground with a loss and a tie in only 2 games. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0gYaXRq3SM

¡Celebremos el silencio!

¡Celebremos el silencio! Un óptimo artículo sobre este tema, teniendo en consideración que estamos demasiado expuestos al ruido. Un tema que me dice mucho y que lo tengo pensado bastante (tanto en el trabajo, como en casa) Es mencionado un libro que tengo en mi biblioteca (que todavía no lo he leído) de Robert Green - Power, que sobre el silencio propone: 1. Cuanto más digas más vulnerable serás y menor controlo de la situación tendrás 2. Demasiada oferta reduce el precio: recuerda que la escasez, inclusive de palabras, crea valor. Sin embargo, la motivación del articulo deriva del nuevo libro de Dan Lyons (añadido a mi lista de deseos), STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in a World That Won’t Stop Talking, que propone: 1. Siempre que sea posible, no digas nada, 2. Descubre el poder de las pausas, 3. Deja las redes sociales, 4. Busca el silencio, 5. Aprende a escuchar. ¡En suma, aprende a pensar y a comunicar mejor, lo que implica menos cuantidad! Me acuerdo de las palabras de Saint- Exupéry que decía (+/-) que la perfección cuando comunicas/escribes no es cuando no tengas nada más que añadir, pero si cuando no puedas quitar algo más… Buenas lecturas! https://elpais.com/eps/psicologia-y-bienestar/2024-03-28/el-beneficio-de-callarse.html

Book Rating - 3/5 Obvious Adams: The Story of a Successful Business Man

Book Rating - 3/5 Obvious Adams: The Story of a Successful Business Man → by Robert Updegrafft, John Brubaker (Foreword) Review to come shortly “…Published in 1916, this story is over a hundred years old, yet its message is just as relevant today as it was in 1916. Perhaps even more so.Why? Because never in the history of our society have we had greater access to information yet at the same time we’ve never been more deficient in common sense.Advertising legend David Ogilvy believed this book changed his life and was so passionate about its message that he had his employees read it every year.I’ve read the book a dozen times, and each time I pick up a new insight or piece of wisdom from it. It’s less a book about advertising, or even about Adams himself, as much as it’s a book about the power of mindset.I encourage you to read and re-read this book a dozen times, too. I can realistically promise you that you’ll glean some new wisdom from Obvious Adams each time you re-read it….” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43566531
